3.1.12.1.(2)ATTRIBUTION:
Functional Statement:
F02
To limit the severity and effects of fire or explosions.
Objective:
OS1.2
APPLICATION:
Testing to determine the flame-spread rating and smoke developed classification of a material or assembly,
in buildings described in Sentence
1.3.3.2.(1) of Division A, where the material or assembly:
- is designed for use in a relatively horizontal position with only its top surface exposed to air,
- cannot be tested in conformance with Sentence 3.1.12.1.(1) without the use of supporting material that is not representative of the intended installation, or
- is thermoplastic.
In the case of flame-spread ratings, this also applies to buildings to which Part 9 applies [see Sentence
1.3.3.3.(1) of Division A for application
of Part 9], as stated in Sentence
9.10.3.2.(1).
INTENT:
To limit the probability that inappropriate criteria will
be stated for the testing of materials or assemblies with respect to spread
of flame, which could lead to the use of inappropriate materials or assemblies,
which could lead to the materials or assemblies contributing to the spread
of fire, which could lead to harm to persons.
To limit the probability that inappropriate criteria will
be stated for the testing of materials or assemblies with respect to smoke
generation, which could lead to the use of inappropriate materials or assemblies,
which could lead to the generation of an inappropriate amount of smoke from
the materials or assemblies when subjected to fire conditions, which could
lead to harm to persons.
